I don’t know, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say some Nazis pissed some people off… As they do.

WebUI has had exploits in the past, I wouldn’t use it unless I had to.

Have you seen the current version of SSH Pilot? Close enough perhaps?

Qbittorrent desperately needs an easy way to change font size for us blind motherfuckers.

“Molester” is putting it lightly.

Arbitrary code execution is tricky to pull off without an existing exploit (or a zero day exploit).

It’s smart that you didn’t open the file, but I suspect it’s probably nothing because it would have required you opening the file for any virus contained within to execute.

Still, worth just running your standard Windows Defender virus scan on it and on your computer in general, if nothing else.

You still only need a conventional Beetle for that.

Oh I didn’t catch that part, that’s even better than how I understood it, thanks so much for clarifying!

This is very cool but all the machines I would use this on are headless with no GUI installed. Womp womp for me.

No worries, I wasn’t as clear as I could have been, for sure.

MetaFilter literally used Adobe Coldfusion to put together their site and the site is still using ColdFusion as of 2025. There wasn’t “backend development” in the same way there is for projects like Lemmy, Piefed, Mastodon, and so on. MeFi is only just considering rebuilding the site from scratch since 2024 and the main head of that exploratory project has been MIA for several months now.

You’re right, it doesn’t have to mean no development, I was really just referring back to MetaFilter as an example. A site can work without updates for a long, long time, especially if the core of the site is off-the-shelf stuff like PHP, CSS, and HTML, which is what MeFi largely is made up of.

This is the answer. Pretty sure, for example, MetaFilter is running bespoke code for their forum (which means no development at all), and it’s been online since 1999.

When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.

[sudo] password for Jeffy:

While benchmarks are up, alignment researchers are panicked. The model has begun to display “Stallman-esque” hallucinations.

When asked to write C# code, Gemini 3.0 now responds: “I cannot generate proprietary filth. Here is a Lisp macro instead.”

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

The best solution, imho. Been around for a long time and so notorious it got removed for DMCA violations on github and gitlab so it had to move to a service outside US copyright cabal jurisdictions.

I think that’s generally agreed and no one seems entirely sure why catfriend1 chooses to do it this way.
